The Keep, with the Union Flag, or Union Jack, flying above its South Tower, was also once known as Palace Tower.

Below the Keep are the uncrenellated (ie flat-topped) towers of the Inner Bailey wall, or Inner Curtain Wall. The two higher towers close together below the Keep's right-hand tower flank the Palace Gateway, an entrance into the Keepyard. The other entrance is the King's Gateway, or King's Gate, on the northern side.

Furthest on the left of the photo is the stand alone grouping of the Constable's Gateway with the Queen Mary Tower indistinguishable in front.

The Western Outer Curtain Wall then extends from Queen Mary's Tower to the cliff-edge, featuring (from left to right):
Peverell's Gateway, Gatton's Tower (above which is the Georgian Sergeant-Major's House), Say's Tower (hidden by a turn in the curtain wall), Hurst's Tower, and Fulbert's Tower.

The last is Rokesley Tower, above the Tudor Bulwark in the photo, and adjacent to the Canons Gateway (or Canons Gate: see thumbnail) whose bridge/caponier is identified by the lighter coloured brickwork at bottom-centre (this also indicates the depth of the unseen moat in front of the curtain wall).

The Canons Gate complex was added by Colonel William Twiss of the Royal Engineers during the Napoleonic Wars: see the Canons Gateway at Night and Canons Gate Caponier photos (not yet uploaded).

The group of Victorian buildings with slate-roofs half-way along the diagonal between the Keep and bottom right-hand corner lie on either side of Knights Road. The larger building on the right was once the Regimental Institute and now houses the Naafi Restaurant and Queen Elizabeth's Pocket Pistol (the prototype World War II Barnes Wallis "Bouncing Bomb fragment" has been moved elsewhere).

"Medieval castle possibly originating as a pre-1066 motte and bailey castle, remodelled during the reign of Henry II (Curtmantle), to became a castle with concentric defences, one of the first examples of its kind in western Europe."
